TwitPic of the week
History in the making, literally. This week’s winner goes to @FSELV for a picture of the Fremont St Experience canopy under construction. We lament on this show the loss of the black sky to frame Fremont Neon but respect what the Fremont St Experience did to draw people back downtown. It is in that spirit that we celebrate this photo.
